[Python-ideas] Cross Platform Python Sound Module/Library

[anatoly techtonik]

Because there are many user stories and it is hard to get API that suits
them all. Audio is not a sound - it is a stream, and the stream is
continuous. You need to be able to detect latency and control the buffer
size to compensate that. There is also a problem of mixing multiple streams
- your system probably has a limitation for it, and multiple ways to do
this.

Anyway, it would be awesome to have at least some basic user stories of
playing sounds covered by stdlib. I experimented with some things on
Windows, so you may find the following public domain code useful -
https://bitbucket.org/techtonik/audiosocket - it plays CD format audio
streams.
